I got you all to start a thread on my behalf. Next to the Oscar this is the next best thing! Go Frogs! You better say Go Frogs or I will start another meltdown (justified as it was)

I'll be the lone Mexican American in purple who went to TCU. I kind of stick out.

Alright, a truce. Go Mean Green! Death to the BC...wait, we are part of this damn thing now. It was much more fun to be a rebel. But I went to UT as well. Damn, I am a walking contradiction!

He said it! Fatterson! You saw it, I saw it, and most important Touchdown Jesus saw it. Case Closed!

Hahaha...that was alarmingly truthful! Well played

If I were you, I would not have taken a picture of my arm like that. Did you really think that was something that should be touted?

oh come on, let us, please.....

Umm, why the hell not? If this conference alignment taught us anything, it is the fact that the money maker and conference shaker is basketball. I think Kansas would agree with that, or would they?

Glick you got me there. That was a screw up on my part, and no excuse for that. As for shooting yourself, please do not, you will not be able to see TCU in another BCS bowl.

One, I came on here and admitted my point was posted in the wrong thread, and said that was my bad. Second, I have read comments downplaying TCU saying we will fade back into the dreaded eighties. Please see the work of PlummMeanGreen who seems to believe we are just some flash in the pan. But, I do love the shots at my intellect, especially that of CensoredbyLaurie. You do UNT proud. Say, lets agree on one thing. Lets start playing UNT again, rather than run away so we can continue our all time winning record against UNT. What would we call it?

And, you are absolutely right sir, on Killerfrogs we do not talk smack about UNT. Actually, we do not really talk about UNT at all.

Now that was more like it. A well reasoned response, sadly watered down at the end, but hey you made an honest attempt! Gold star for you

Another red herring, guys come on attack my posts related to TCU, and tell me we have never been put down. I am defending my school and our great tradition against a school that is utterly limited. It is me who is damn proud of my school!

Aww, you brought more swords out. I but you were real popular during show and tell. Yes, it is hell trying to get a job as a prof right now, but I have a post doc ready for me at Emroy when I am done. You still have not answered my question. No one has put down TCU? I just posted one example of this very thing happening.

Actually rather enjoying posting on your board, it is entertaining. Also, enjoying a nice break before I have to finish my dissertation at UT. But, please throw more red herrings out there if it is easier than attacking my claims. No one has ever tried to diminished TCU on this board. Really? Whose sanity should be questioned?

You do realize that sword is fake. Anyone of any real intellect want to challenge me. Please do not act like TCU has never been put down. That is all I ask. Next you will want me to believe UNT is a football powerhouse

Wow, I am trying to have an honest conversation and you attack me personally? And you wonder why I challenged people on this board. Nice way to divert attention from my post, and rather than attack it head on, you try and degrade me. An uneducated and overtly flaccid response, you must be so proud!

Hey Baby Arm! How bout this post from emmitt01 in response to our implosion! emmitt01 * * GoMeanGreen.com Addict * * Add as Friend * PM this member * Group: Members * Posts: 5590 * Joined: 19-July 02 Posted 05 December 2010 - 09:13 PM And still enough seats remain for their fanbase. In direct response to our stadium being imploded. yeah, guess I made that up. Please address the rest of my post with regards to attendance smack and TCU as some fluke. And, do not give me that was just one person. The point is it was state. When a bowl game before you talk smack. When a conference title before you talk smack. Hell, have a winning record before you talk smack.

And, if I posted in the wrong thread, I take full responsibility for that awkward insert. But, please do not take that as an opportunity to throw out a red herring as a means of ignoring my substantiated post. I suppose you putting down the dirty years of SMU is a convenient way of forgetting all the success they had before that.

Let's see, how about calling Patterson, "Fatterson" (I admit a convenient/catchy put down). You all would clamor for Patterson today. Oh, calling TCU a fluke or simply pushing aside our amazing rise (unlike SMU) in an honest fashion while graduating player after player. We have been doing this for a decade, that is the antithesis of a fluke or fleeting reality. Next, when our stadium was imploded, and our renovation was under way claiming we would not miss those seats because our fan base was not that big. Really? Attendance smack from UNT supporters is really beyond belief. We have a small fan base because we don't want everyone and their mother in our school. We have nearly 16,000 applications for around 1700 spots for next year and that is good (Figures according to Ray Brown, TCU Dean of Admissions in latest issue of "TCU the Magazine"). Why not just applaud our progress, and I will yours. Please do not tell me this crap has not been said, we all know it has. Look, I want UNT to be good and hope you guys kill those smug losers at SMU, but rather than accept the undeniable success of TCU, many try to put down my school in some kind of makeshift attempt at catharsis. I just thought it was about time someone stood up for my proud alma mater, good ole' TCU! Good luck next year. I will make sure and say hi from Pasadena!

And good job on responding to my assertion that you put down schools in the area that have had great success. I guess envy can do that to you. I do not know, I have never had anything to envy about UNT. Actually, you have a really nice music school.

You forgot Texas EX as well!

Actually I am a TCU alum from class of 2005 and a graduate student at the University of Texas at Austin. Look at my handle, which should have helped give you some direction. For the record, as a TCU/UT student I hate SMU, but hate the arrogance of some UNT posters who bring down TCU when they have done something utterly amazing with real consistency. The arrogance of some on this board towards schools with amazing success is nothing short of amazing. Imagine if you had the success of Ohio State, you would be insufferable.

"By the way, paragraphs are a great writing tool." Man, strong substantive comeback replying to everything but the post itself. Go give yourself a sticker for that one!

Man, I wish they would make a documentary about UNT. But, what would the narration to any preview go like? hmmm..Maybe, "What if I told you there was a school in North Texas no one gave a damn about. A directional school which wallows in the academic realm of Tier 3 institutions, an outsider who always yearned for SWC legitimacy only to be turned away. What if I told you they were anchored in a city that like the university played second fiddle to two strong private academic institutions that had three times the pedigree and history UNT had in two larger cities. What if I told you, they straddle the line between sanity and sports insanity by gorging in paranoia, hypotheticals, and supposed conspiracy theories meant to keep them out of the SWC, Big 12, Conference USA, or the Mountain West because everyone was just "too scared" of what would they would become. What if I told you there was a school out there that acted like they were the only school with potential and the promise of positive expansion. What if I told you there was a school out there that argued because you could see the stadium from the freakin highway, they were on their way to claiming their football program an oasis for 5 star recruits. What if I told you, they had a poster who claimed that a high TV rating for a 1982 UNT game against ULM, and being 25 minutes from the airport was reason enough to crown them worthy of inclusion into a BCS Conference. What if I told you, they used their high enrollment as a reason why they should be taken seriously, considering anyone including their dead dog could get int. I guess we can expect schools like University of Houston and UTSA to become Florida overnight because after all, they are universities with a high enrollment in major cities. What if I told you, they played in the Sun Belt, have endured losing season after losing season, and yet have that temerity to talk smack about TCU who has done wonders for a decade. A new addition to our 30 for 30, ‘UNT: we are awesome. Why are you walking away shaking your head, we really our number one! Look, we have a stadium with one section that looks like a cheesy winged replica, some 3 whatever time it is jazz band, and thrive off grand hypotheticals that never materialize.’ UNT, you do know they filmed a crap load of scenes for Unnecessary Roughness here don't you!! Take that UT and your championships, A&M and your following, Tech and your high powered offense, TCU and your back to back BCS Bowls, and SMU who we love to claim is our rival but does not want anything to do with us. UNT: Meh University forever!"
